My guess is that the majority doesn't know what web apps are. Most people I know either have an app for that or consider a function not worthwhile or necessary.

What are some popular examples that would be affected by this?

Here's a list of Non-Open Source web apps: https://www.neoito.com/blog/best-progressive-web-apps/

Here's a list of Open Source web apps: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_free_and_open-source_web_applications

The barrier of entry for these apps are just so low. You don't have to download anything for them to work and (for now) they're crossplatform.

If you haven't yet, you might want to try voyager on your lemmy instance: https://vger.app/

Does this affect the UK as well as they aren’t in the European Union anymore?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Most likely not, UK does not use EU laws anymore.

It's all about brand and glam. Majority of people that need validation from others "need" to have an iPhone.
